Yes, it’s called a pose constraint with compensation applied. You can also do it in the animation mixer.

Generally speaking, I've read at C4DCafe that he complains more about viewport performance of the rigs on C4D viewport, in comparison with Maya.

C4D is a certainly very good option. Some character animators say, that in certain areas, it’s better than Maya, or Softimage, and of course, in other areas, it’s not… :-) It depends on your workflow. C4D received a character animation toolset overhaul several years ago, and still receives love by the development team, and will continue to do so. I will suggest you go to: http://www.cineversity.com/search/tutorials/ and search for “character”. Then filter for Free tutorials (Access type). You will see some of the tools available. I may have a bit more information about this subject in a few days. Don't forget that I’m a huge fanboy of C4D and Maxon beta tester, so I’m extremely biased, but I never lie. please feel free to ask any specific questions… Cheers Thanassis Just wondering if anyone has done any real character animation in C4D. I bought version 9 when I dumped Lightwave and the character animation tools were pretty much crap (which is why I own Softimage now). I heard they updated them a while back, but I can’t really find any tutorials or even examples that look anything but amateur at best.
